CURTAIN-YPLE AND SHADE HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 752,425, dated February16, 1904.

Application filed November 16,4 1903. Serial No. 181,396. (No modelli Toall whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIRAMRION S. SPANGLER,

of Terre Haute, county of Vigo, and State of.

Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Curtain-Pole and ShadeHanger; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, in which like figures refer to like parts.

The object of this invention is to provide convenient means forsupporting windowcurtain poles and shades that may be readily attachedto or detached from any windowcasing and readily adjusted to windows ofvarious widths and curtains of various Widths. The device mounts thewindow-shade and curtain-support without driving nails or in any wiseinjuring the window-casing.

The full nature of this invention will be understood from the followingdescription and claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device with aportion of a window-casing, a curtain, a curtain-pole, and a shade shownin place. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the hanger by itself.

In detail, represents the side casing of a window; 11, a curtain-pole;12, a curtain suspended from said pole, and 13 a shade mounted on theroller 14.

The hanger consists of a member 15, longitudinally slidable in anothermember, 16, and clamped in place by a set-screw 17, that extends fromthe member 15 through a longitudinal slot 18 in the member 16. Theopposite ends of said members 15 and 16 are turned at a right angleinward and have ciaws 19, adapted to engage the opposite edges of theside of the window-casing and hold the hanger in place. Those two clawsare driven into the wood tightly. and then the set-screw 17 tightened.There are a'pair of guide-fingers 20, that extend rearward from themember 16 for guiding one end of the member 15 while the i set-screw 17guides the other end of Said member.

A bracket 21 is secured on the member 16 and extends upward therefromfor receiving and supporting the curtain-pole. The window-shade 13 issupported by a downwardlyextending bracket 22, that is held at its upperend bya set-screw 23, that passes through a lower longitudinal slot 24andthe member 16 and has on its rear end a head wider than the slot 24,as is well known, and therefore not here shown, for clamping the bracket22 to the member 16. The bracket 22, at its lower end, has an ear 25with a hole 26 in it to receive the pin 27 from the curtain-roller 14.

It is thus seen that this hanger may be readily attached or detachedfrom windowcasings of varying widths by merely adjusting the position ofthe set-screw 17. Also it securely holds itself in place withoutinjuring the wood of the window-casing. Likewise the bracket 22 forsupporting the shade may be laterally adjusted with ease to accommodatea shade to windows of varying widths. This renders the device convenientfor persons while changing residences or for changing the window-shadefrom one window to another.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

A hanger for curtain-poles and windowshades comprising two membersmounted in connection with each other, one of said members having twolongitudinal slots in it one above the other, a guideway at one endthereof, and inwardly-extending claws at the other end, the other memberfitting in said guideway and having claws on its outer end, a set-screwse'- cured to said last-mentioned member and eX- tending through theupper slot in the other member whereby the two are held together so asto be longitudinally slidable with reference to each other and wherebysaid members may be clamped on the side of the windowcasing, a bracketsecured to one of said members and extending upward therefrom and thenoutward for supporting a curtain-pole, a shadesupporting bracketextending down from said slotted member and having a perforated ear onits lower end for receiving the end of the shade-roller, and a.eleunping-screw extending through the upper end of said bracket andthelower slot insaid slotted rnem# ber whereby said lower bracket may belaterally adjusted and secured in place to accommodate shade-rollers ofvarying lengths substantially as set forth. v
